Our Team
John Carola
FOUNDER OF BONDABILITY
John's journey in the surety industry began in 1976 when he started his career at Western Surety Company. Over the years, he gained extensive experience working at numerous top-tier surety companies, developing a deep understanding of the industry. However, at one point, John realized he was ready for a change. Tired of the corporate approach to business, he set out on a mission to help consumers navigate the bond process in a way that was efficient, transparent, and customer-focused.
In 2001, John founded BondAbility with a vision to streamline the bond-writing process while delivering unparalleled service. His leadership has been instrumental in shaping BondAbility into a trusted leader in the industry, serving clients with reliability and ease. BondAbility reflects John's core values of trust, expertise, and putting the customer first.
Now semi-retired, John enjoys his time at the beach in Delaware, soaking in the coastal lifestyle and creating cherished memories with his five grandchildren. While he has stepped back from daily operations, John remains a guiding force behind BondAbility's vision, leaving a legacy of integrity, innovation, and dedication to exceptional service.

Our Story
With a rich history in the surety industry dating back to 1976, our founder began working directly for several renowned surety companies. Through years of dedicated experience, our founder developed a profound understanding of how corporate sureties underwrite and rate applicants. This in-depth knowledge serves as the cornerstone of our operations, allowing us to offer you expert guidance that aligns with the specific requirements of the industry.
BondAbility soon began as an outsourced processing center for multiple surety companies. These companies trust BondAbility to underwrite and process surety bonds on behalf of their insurance agents. In fact, if you've purchased a surety bond in the past, there's a good chance that it was processed by us at BondAbility.
By combining technology and surety well before it became commonplace, we were at the forefront of this innovative integration. Now, we have expanded our services and are thrilled to offer them directly to you.
